About Bovis

Bovis Bets

Well, if you're bored, then maybe you might like to know about me.
I first took an interest in horse racing around the time i was studying A-levels.
I went on to study a degree in Probability And Statistics at the University of Sheffield.
Even then I would place a modest 10p Yankee bet each day.
Then, for some time, I had a boring office job and did normal things.

Things changed for me around 1999 when I was offered a chance to attend a training course in gambling at Newmarket racecourse. The cost was a 4-figure sum which was very substantial for someone just starting a family and mortgage, etc.
(I was able to share the cost and the education with a good friend who helps me to this day and has a lifetime membership here).
I soon left my regular, salaried job when I began to realise the earning potential.
But then life, being what it is, threw up another massive change in my personal circumstances. Once again I walked away from gambling and got a 'normal' job.

Scroll forward to around 2010 when, one Sunday, on a whim, I bought a copy of The Racing Post and went to the races - just for something to do.
I remember I won £100 that day using some of the old techniques from the previous century, and I was back and wondering why I had ever stopped.

BovisBets was set up around 2012 (as you will see from our history) as a response from several friends and family members that insisted it was not possible to make money in this way. So I said I would record my results here publicly.
From the start, I wanted this to be open, indeed bets were originally posted here for free information for all to see.
But many people do not value what they can get for free and I believe my service to be valuable, insightful, and most importantly, profitable. I've paid (in many ways) to gain that experience, and so now I charge for the service I provide.
